The Stigma and Societal Conflicts of People with Physical Disabilities

The Stigma and Societal Conflicts of People with Physical Disabilities examines society’s perception of individuals with physical impairments, limitations in activities, and/or limited social participation and highlights the assumptions and marginalizing attitudes revolving around them. It shows how mental disorders can develop due to society’s behaviour towards those with disabilities and how to properly respect and honour their fundamental human rights. Society must adopt a “temporarily able-bodied” attitude to deter stigma against individuals with disabilities and increase empathy to ultimately benefit all people.
